I don't know why this phone is being compared with HTC. It can be used for normal email (using microsoft entourage similar to outlook for windows),Microsoft office for Mac for ppt,documents apart from runnig the usual fun stuff. I have even managed to run the Terminal facility for MAC on my iphone. Remember unlike windows mobile, it has a full fledged Mac OS running. So anything that runs on Mac laptops/desktop would run here. Morever with the wireless internet, you can use it to run your existing internet instead of the WAP connections. So you can use the fast broadband. No wonder iPhone is being touted as the innovation of the century.
